Star Wars 8: The Last Jedi IN PICTURES

Star Wars returns this December with The Last Jedi.

The leaks come from Star Wars Youtube channel Mike Zeroh, who cites sources at Pinewood and other Star Wars sets.

1. “Back shot of Rey sprinting towards a fire.”

This would seem to be on Ahch-To. Which means… Is Kylo Ren seriously going to burn down the Force Tree which serves as the ancient First Jedi Temple? This would certainly tie in with the earlier official shot of Kylo holding his ignites lightsaber, surrounded by a fiery red backdrop.

There have been numerous leaked images from the Pinewood set and also reports that a scene was filmed with pyrotechnics showing the tree ablaze. As if Kylo hasn’t already done enough evil for one villain’s lifetime. How can he possibly be redeemed after this?

By contast, this hardly reveals anything. Seriously, when isn't he angry?

3. “Rey holding her staff looking at Luke holding something in the clochan with voiceover from Mark Hamill.”

More and more likely that this will be the scene with a locked casket that contains a red cyber crystal fragment. The powerful shard will be turned into a pendant that Luke wears and is rumoured to be very important to the plot. Many have theorised that it is a fragment of Darth Vader's shattered lightsaber, but latest reports indicate it is an ancient crystal that Luke has been seeking for a long time.

Numerous reports describe a major three-way chase sequence through the narrow streets of Canto Bight. As always with the 'history repeating' thems of Star Wars, this scene from the middle film of the trilogy will mimic the scene from Attack of the Clones, the middle film of the prequel trilogy, when Obi-Wan and Anakin pursued bounty hunters in the busy skies above Coruscant.

6. “Close up of Luke observing Rey swinging her lightsaber in front of the iconic structure from the first teaser trailer.”

7. “A wide shot of the island (on Ahch-To) with a massive thunderstorm visible in the distance.”

8. “A quick shot of dozens of TIE-fighters detaching from the massive Dreadnought over D’Qar.”

This is believed to be the major battle sequence from the first act of the movie, when the First Order attacks the Rebel base.
